One of the first PD/Freeduino/P5 workshops in West Africa will take place in Dakar, Ker Thiossane Art Center, in Senegal, from monday to saturday, by Centre de Ressources Art Sensitif. Free entrance. Welcome. Given by Jerôme Abel and JNM from craslab.org
For anecdote, two students from Bamako, Mali, have travelled hundreds kilometers from friday , 8.00 in the morning, to today (sunday) in the afternoon, by local "buses", on destroyed roads, sand and dust, with 42 degrees temperature (no cool air system), just to participate to this PD workshop starting tomorrow. This contrasts with some french artists from Paris, complaining that our art center in the surburbs, where we organize our workshops, is to far from the center of Paris...( 4 kilometers...)...

Sounds like a great trip! I am looking forward to hearing the fusion
of West African drumming with Pd! :)
